I don't know how much Ron knows of traditional Northwest coast dress. I describe it as Kilt, Cape, and Cap. I have noticed my modern native friends tend toward knee length apparel over full trousers. A brown utility kilt even mimiks the traditional colour of cedar bark fabric, as the common t-shirt colours mimic those of a traditional Button Robe. Interesting to ponder the connexions but I'll stop now before I spin too far on a tangent.
